Typical Eating Schedules for 7 Month Old Baby?

I have an eight month old and I will give you an example of his eating schedule:

8:00 a.m. - 6 oz bottle and 3 tbs of cereal

Noon - 4 oz bottle, stage 2 jar of veggies and 2 oz of juice

4:00 p.m. - 4 oz. bottle, stage 2 jar of fruit and 2 oz of juice

8:00 p.m. - 6 oz bottle and 4 tbs of ceral

this is just an example of what my son eats the more food I give him the less milk he wants because then he gets too full and spits up. My ped. told me that the more food he eats his milk will decrease. My son was the same in length and height at his 6 month visit. I think that if he wants to eat he should eat. I hope this helped, good luck.

I have two children, my thought is when they are hungry they will eat. When they are not they won't. My second eats us out of the house. My first won't hardly eat. But they are like roller coasters. One week they eat a lot and the next they slow down. As long as you are feeding healthy foods you are fine in my opinion.

I remember I use to give at least half the bottle first, if not the whole bottle and then finish with food and a little more to drink if needed. Our pediatric doctor told us that before the age of 1 breastmilk and formula are the two most important things, food is second. So we drank first ate second. Then I allowed him to eat as much as he wanted. He was also normally average to underweight, even though he was eating more than average. I don't know if this helps any, just how I tried to make sure he was getting the right nutrition.

With the blessing of our pediatrician, we also started our son at 4 months with solids and he has done very well with them (oatmeal is the only thing he really doesn't like so far). Our child is 50th percentile for weight, so he's thriving but not being overfed. I'll share with you my schedule, but keep in mind that every child is different with unique nutritional needs:

wake at 6:30 - 7 oz bottle, followed by 2 Tbsp cereal
nap at 9:00
wake at 10:15 - 1/2 stage 2 jar of fruit
lunch at 12:00 - 7 oz bottle, followed by 1 jar of stage 2 veggies or 1/2 jar of stage 3 veggies
nap at 1:00
wake at 3:30
dinner at 4:00 - 7 oz bottle, followed by 1/2 stage 2 jar of fruit and 1 Tbsp cereal
bedtime at 6:30 - 7 oz bottle

We give the full bottle first, only because our son is a happy spitter and we have found that this has helped tremendously. After his lunch and dinner, I also give a few of the Gerber puffs more for practicing his pincer grasp rather than for nutrition. He is starting to get some teeth, so we will be moving to stage 3 or homemade chunky food soon.
